New Moon Card Draw - and Happy Spring!

[wyld_dandelyon]

It's a New Moon this evening, so I'm opening my garden for a card draw. As always, I hope to send some good energy out into the world, to spark some hope and creativity. You can ask about real life or a creative project, or even a game. I can draw a card for you to meditate on, to represent the Guide you need right now, or to get you unstuck. I can draw a card for a character or can draw a card or cards for you to use as writing or art prompts--starting something new is a traditional use of New Moon energy. But ask what you will, because now is always transforming into a new moment.

I hope you will stop by my garden. It's warm this evening, the grass is green, the roses are mostly starting to bud, and the dandelions and weeds are growing. There's a few tulips and daffodils--they're thinner than I would wish, since the squirrels think they're food when we first plant them, but spring blooms are always welcome. You and I can share hot chocolate or tea and chat, and you can get a reading if you would like one.

New friends and old are welcome.

For free one card readings, you can pick from the Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle, the Daughters of the Moon Tarot (one of the round decks), or the Shapeshifter Tarot. You can ask a question, ask for a Guide or for inspiration, or you can just ask for a card. I don't need to know what your question is, but you are welcome to share it with me if you like.

The first card is free (though tips are always appreciated). Tips also let you ask me to use any of my other decks, including but not limited to my combined Susan Seddon Boulet Animal Spirits and Goddesses cards. Tipping ca also be used to request a private reading, or to draw a clarifying card. If you want a longer reading, send a direct message so we can agree on the type of reading and rate.

Please consider dropping something in the guitar case below. Readings take time and energy, and even though the Milwaukee winter, like everything else, has been affected by global warming, winter heat is pricey and old houses always need repair somewhere or other.

Signal boosts are very much appreciated, and also earn you the right to ask for a clarifying card.

I understand all too well that when people don't have cash or spoons that is generally when they most need inspiration! Don't be afraid to ask for a card if you can't tip.

If you tip, it's helpful to me for you to mention it here so I can connect your paypal information with your request. Tips should be at least $1 (Paypal charges fees). If that doesn't work for you, drop me a message and we'll work something out.

I've written before about why I do readings and some of the decks I use here, feel free to hop over and check me out. I'll wait.

I will reply to all requests. In the highly unlikely event that the number of requests nears my limits, I'll close this card draw by adding a clear note at the top of the post rather than risk leaving anyone without a response. However, I intend to stay open at least through Thursday morning, and longer for paid readings. The weekend will be busy, so if you get your request in after noon on Thursday, I may not draw your card until Sunday night. If that's all right with you, it's all right with me!

Thank you, and Blessed Be!

As always, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

Honesty and the Sylph

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

Of course!

As you walk through the garden, you see an old bed, old shelves, ugly plastic border thingies and other stuff piled neatly against a fence under our oldest lilac. The City has declared this the week that we must leave big stuff out to be collected in my neighborhood, if we want it collected for free. One week in a year is hardly enough, but it's better than none, I suppose. I thank you for your patience; by the time we finished dragging the stuff in the basement that got moldy outside, I was totally wrecked last night.

Near my first spring dandelion, we find honesty floating upside down. Is he reversed, indicating that you might need to examine whether you are being honest with yourself? Or is he merely upright with respect to your hemisphere? Either way, truth matters--and in matters where it's not about true and false, as in contract negotiations or relationships, clarity matters. Assumptions about even the most basic things (like gravity?) aren't always obvious to all the parties involved.

While we are pondering Honesty, Taitin the Sylph whizzes by, spinning Honesty around like a top. He shakes his head at her, but smiles, and she offers her hand. He takes her hand and gracefully inverts himself to stand on the grass, and she sits on his shoulder. Taitin reminds us that ideas are wild and free, and it's great to entertain them for a while, but eventually you need to use that intellect to do more than generate more of them. It's time to look at them carefully, pick the one that's the best for you in this exact moment, polish it, shine it up with all the fairy dust available (Taitin is happy to share) and change reality.

If you are being challenged by a lack of honesty or clarity, or if your mental defenses are working a bit too well and obscuring something you need to see clearly, Taitin's message is that your intellect is an important tool in discerning that. But first, she says, she hopes we have some chocolate. Honesty's face brightens at that prospect as well, so we head inside to rummage in the kitchen and find refreshments.

I don't know that I've found you anything to warm you for the winter, but I can offer tea or hot chocolate!

I have been disposing of things gone mouldy too. My local government area gives us six free collections a year that we can book and each one is 2 cubic metres, about the size of a small box trailer. I booked two to help clear out my garage and could have gone to three.

There is more sorting to do....
